“American Meat” - A film screening & panel discussion

 Saturday, January 28, In Greenwich, CT  4:00-7:00 pm

American Meat is a solutions-oriented macroscopic documentary surveying the current state of the U.S. meat industry. Featuring dozens of farmers across America, the film aims to be an even-handed look at animal husbandry. The screening of American Meat will be followed by a short discussion about locally available meat and foods, and then Slow Food Metro North and Audubon’s partners on this event will host a reception.

The film explains how America arrived at our current industrial system, and shows you the feedlots and confinement houses, not through hidden cameras but through the eyes of the farmers who live and work there. Meet tens of farmers across the country that have changed their life to start grass-based farms, and we highlight every day tangible solutions that people can take, to change agriculture in America. From there, the film introduces the current revolution developing in animal husbandry, led by the charismatic and passionate Joel Salatin from the eco-friendly Polyface Farm in Swoope, VA.  More information is below and a trailer is available at: www.americanmeatfilm.com.

$15/person. Space is limited. RSVP required to Jeff Cordulack at 203-869-5272 x239. Film will begin shortly after 4:00 pm and will be followed by discussion & reception. (Snow Date: Jan. 29). At Audubon Greenwich, 613 Riversville Road, Greenwich, CT 06831 http://greenwich.audubon.org
